Marphona Farms - Excellence in the Dairy Industry

Marphona Farms is one of New Zealand’s largest privately owned dairy farms. Owned and managed by Bruce Pulman, the company is recognised as the leading quality dairy farm in New Zealand. Marphona Farms supplies milk of the highest quality to Fonterra Co-Operative Dairy Company, New Zealand Dairy Foods Limited and to Green Valley Dairies. Green Valley Dairies Limited is another Company in the HEB Group.

Marphona Farms began as a family business in 1983 and has continued to expand to farm over 1300 hectares (3211 acres) at Mangatawhiri 45 minutes south of Auckland.

Marphona Farms has developed QA systems to meet the ISO 9001:2000 International Quality Standard. Marphona Farms is the only dairy farm in the Southern Hemisphere to hold ISO 9001:2000.

Marphona Farms also holds a Category Two rating under New Zealand Occupational Safety and Health. This makes Marphona Farms an industry leader in this area.

In 1998 Marphona Farms made a commitment to environmentally sound management by converting 2000 acres to organic dairy production. The area farmed organically will increase as additional land is developed to a suitable standard. Marphona Farms is New Zealand’s largest organic dairy producer.

Marphona Farms holds both Bio-Gro and AgriQuality Organic Certifications. Marphona Farms was the first New Zealand Dairy farm to obtain a Registered Product Safety Programme (PSP) with New Zealand Food Safety Authority. Marphona Farms won the Franklin Business Excellence in Agriculture award in 2002.
